Purification of insulin-like growth factor I receptor from human placental membranes

TR LeBon, S Jacobs, P Cuatrecasas, S Kathuria and Y Fujita-Yamaguchi

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I receptor was purified from Triton X- 100-solubilized human placental membranes by wheat germ agglutinin- Sepharose chromatography followed by immunoaffinity chromatography using alpha IR-3, a monoclonal antibody directed against the IGF-I receptor. Purification of 3200-fold and 2800-fold was achieved from wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose eluates with regard to IGF-I binding and kinase activities. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions revealed two major protein bands corresponding to the alpha and beta subunits of the receptor, which accounted for at least 90% of the protein content. The purified receptor bound 10-20 micrograms of IGF-I/mg of protein and was more than 95% free of contamination by insulin receptor. It sedimented in glycerol gradients as a single species with a sedimentation coefficient of 13.7 S and gave three protein bands with Mr = approximately 300,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions, indicating that alpha 2 beta 2 is an intact form of the IGF-I receptor. The purified receptor, when incubated with [gamma-32P] ATP, became phosphorylated at tyrosine residues of its beta subunit. This was stimulated 3-fold by IGF-I. It also had IGF-I- stimulated tyrosine kinase activity (5264 pmol of 32P incorporated/min/mg of protein) toward a synthetic peptide corresponding to the autophosphorylation site of pp60src. These data strongly suggest that it is a tyrosine-specific protein kinase.
